Chapter Twenty-Seven Left Alone

I wonder who else feels like they have been hearing the same thing over and over again. I understand that dropping hints that I don't want to talk is really bad because of what has happened. But I want to be alone and to think about what I have done and to live how I want to. I want to be left alone for a least a week. Maybe if I beg my dad hard enough he will let me go to the cabin for a whole entire week. No one to bother me. No one to keep telling me to talk to them. No one telling how I should be copping with everything.

At this very moment I am walking into my dad's study.

"Hey Dad!"

"Hey Jack. How are you?"

"I'm good. I actually wanted to talk to you about something."

"What is it?"

"Would it be ok if I go up to the cabin for a week? I just need space to think be alone for a little while. A week is all I am asking for."

"Jack... you and I both know that you want to be left alone. But with everything that has been happening I don't think that you should be going all by yourself is all."

"Please? I mean even my therapist thinks that it would be good for me to get out of the house and be alone for a little bit."

"I know. How about this. I am leaving this week for a buisness trip up to Brighten, England. I will let you go up to the cabin and tell everyone that you are going with me. I am going to be gone for two weeks. Is that enough time for you to be alone?"

I was shocked that my dad was really going to let me go up to the cabin by myself for two weeks. I then noticed that I have yet to answer dad.

"Yeah that should be enough alone time for me. Thank you dad."

"Your welcome Jack. Oh and Jack. Don't forget that we are only near you all the time because we don't want anything to happen to you like with your sister. She has it bad but it seems that you are having an even harder time with this whole thing a little bit more than we thought. I talked to your counselor by the way and she says that you have been making great improvement since the first day you went in."

I know that my dad was talking to my counselor. So I was going to try and get better for him and the rest of my family. With that being said I walked out of my dad study and into my room to pack. I was so excited to really be by myself and see what I can handle on my own again and see what I am going to have to have help with. I know this is going to be a long two weeks.
